    I have a very vague recollection that motor tax regulations state that you can drive your car to and from an NCT centre without it currently being taxed, and also to be repaired if it fails the NCT as long as its on the day of the test.

    Am I correct and if so can anyone point me towards the relevant section etc.

    Yes, you can.

    Page 2, 10th paragraph

    A vehicle may be used during the period of a non-use declaration
    solely for the purposes of bringing to or from a test centre or bringing
    it to or from a premises for repair where an appointment has been
    made with an authorised tester subsequent to the repairs being
    carried out (subsection 6 of section 20B).

    Many thanks, I was beginning to wonder if I'd imagined it :D Off to NCT centre next week with a car thats been off road since April and not due back on until November, handy to have this info to hand in case I'm stopped for tax been out of date.
